Scott Baumstein (New York, NY)
A short-stacked player shoved holding {8h}{8c} and his snowmen had the misfortune of running into Scott Baumstein’s {ac}{ks}.
The flop Aced the snowmen when it fell {as}{6c}{3h}. The snowmen were melting quickly now and only a third eight would save the day. The last two came {6s}{3c} and the short-stack was sent to the rail.
With that pot, Scott chipped up to more than 1.5 million.
He’s got one Borgata Open title from last September and is looking to make his second in this event. He’s already in the money and will push his career earnings close to or over $1.5 million.
